Imagine if that Fox deal thing was for real. Soon they wouldn't be able to watch 1/3 of the movies Hollywood turns out a year.

On iOS is the letter “I” being replaced by something that looks like this “I️” or am I️ the only one?

Disney and Fox definitely don’t make up 1/3 of Hollywood movies

It’s not just the big 7.  STX, Open Road, Entertainment Studios, Weinstein, IFC, etc. and a shit ton of other minor studios also make up the market outside of the big studios.  There’s also the fact that different studios release more than others.  Try 1/8 of Fox/Disney films and maybe you’ll be closer.

Honestly though, feels like the Silver Shamrock Corporation from Halloween 3.

I was watching an h3 video the other day where a "kids channel" was literally just women in their underwear and outfits that reveal a lot of skin smoking cigarettes. This shit is baffling as hell.

You forget those films with the 15 Chinese studio logos that come on before it.

Paramount just lost its head of marketing and distribution. Cleaning house, it seems.

I mean, mother! totally earned its dreaded ‘F’ CinemaScore (indicating the audience felt hoodwinked by marketing) in my opinion, and then had the gall to wear it as a badge of honor in a ridiculous attempt at reverse psychology; Suburbicon is a dreadful mess that critics can’t make heads or tails of and that has barely grossed $5 million in two weeks of release; and I can’t wait to see how the general public responds to Downsizing, which has absolutely no idea what it wants to be.

 

 

Another flop for Paramount. They are a mess. And their upcoming movies don't sound too good.

I always laugh when I get the H. Brothers logo before every STX film.

By the way I saw Bad Moms Christmas the other day and thought of you during the scene where they went making a mess of the mall set to that song from the trailer for Nut Job 2.

I get more of a kick when I see the WB logo before a Japanese film. I always wonder WTF are they doing all the way over there.

I too saw A Bad Moms Christmas.  I loved the part where the plot stops for 10 minutes so they can advertise Skyzone.
